Page is plagued with "Contact Sales". So that's not for individuals who are seeking replacement for Google Translate / Live Transcribe.

When I saw the title I was kinda expecting a voice-to-voice translator with voice synth (interpreter), which is something I'm painstakingly building as a side project. I can just drop my project and use a more mature one.




hey! I am building a translation app for a side project. Is there any chance you could share how you're building the voice-to-voice?

My strategy is to separate everything STT, translation, and TTS, instead of building 1 model (that constantly needs to be trained).

But the problem I am running into is there arent' any great STT or TTS models. Either they only support the top 10 languages, they are huge (whisper-v3-turbo), or non-commercial license (fb's tts/mms models).

Are you training your own models? Just targeting what languages you need? planning on running in the cloud?

How well are you able to handle live speaker diarization? I've been tinkering with building similar solutions, but unless you have previously labeled speakers things tend to go haywire once you have multiple speakers + crosstalk.


Have a short introduction session before the live translation where each speaker says a couple of words like “hi, I am John” These then can be used to pick up on the current speaker.


Exactly. I just want to talk to my relatives in real time. How do I sign up? No idea.


Samsung Galaxy phones now have realtime (sans the delay) live call translation for popular languages. I don't have a need for it but the 2min test confirmed it is working. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10000935/

I have options to use either Samsung local/offline translation or Google.

Language packs (Sorry for spelling, I don't know how to correctly spell them out in english): Eng/hindi/rus/polish/taju/vietnam/german/arab/french/indonesian/holand/italian/japanese/korea/portugal/spain/turkish/swedish/chinese

Tried it on S22.
